Larissa Kikol: New Abstract Painting

By Larissa Kikol

Abstract painting has reinvented itself: rid of political and ideological burdens, it now stands for pure creative autonomy. From the Abstract Expressionism of the postwar era to today's expansive ease-- in essays and conversations, Larissa Kikol sheds light on how this art form broke free of the narratives that attended its emergence and performed a " great reset." From the seminal innovations of Katharina Grosse or Albert Oehlen and radically subjectivist approaches in Cecily Brown or Andr Butzer to cutting-edge tendencies like Dirty Minimalism and Post Vandalism, the book presents thrilling insights into a painting that puts emotion, color, and shapes center stage. An inspiring look at the renaissance of abstract art in the 21st century and a must-have reference work for all art lovers. Featured artists: Frederic Anderson, Karla Black, Frank Bowling, Jenny Brosinski, Andr Butzer, Cecily Brown, Andreas Breunig, Jad Fadojutimi, Katharina Grosse, Antwan Horfee, Aneta Kajzer, Michael M ller, Oscar Murillo, NUG, Albert Oehlen, David Ostrowski, Daisy Parris, Marco Pariani, Christopher Wool.
